What is a Fixed Loop?
A fixed loop is when a sequence of code has to be repeated more than once. This number of times has to be known beforehand.

Basic Python Fixed Loop Example
The loop above would be ran 5 times. The variable num is used to control how many times the loop runs, it will start as 0 and each time the loop is executed it will be incremented (increased by 1) and it will stop before it reaches 5, so will be 0,1,2,3 and 4.

A control variable can also be used to allow the user to enter the number of times that the loop is to be run before it is executed. This is still a fixed loop as the amount of times the loop is to be executed is decided before the loop starts.
This can be shown in the flow chart below.
